Steps To Prepare Lemon Olive Oil Cake:
- Ariel instructs to preheat your oven to 325 degrees and grease two 9-inch cake pans.
- Cut 2 circular sheets of parchment paper and place them at the bottom of your cake pans.
- Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine oil, whole milk, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice to prepare the wet ingredients.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and fold it in. Next, pour the batter into the prepared pans and place them in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30-36 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean. She mentions, "If you use 3 8-inch pans, bake for 20-26 minutes! When they're done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool."
- Finally, for frosting, she shares, "In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl often. Add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, almond extract, and lemon zest, and mix. Then chill."
- After the cakes have cooled, spread frosting on top of one of the cooled cake layers. Place the second layer on top and spread frosting all over.
- Finally, garnish the cake with blackberries and mint leaves, as shown in the video. That's it - the lemon olive oil cake is ready to savour!
